Chapter 2178: Pure Heart Lamp
There was a hole in the sky.
At the same time, similar scenes continued to appear in various places in the holy land, giving people a feeling that the holy land was about to collapse.
Qin Sang looked up at the sky and saw a crack in the distant horizon.
"It seems that this is not just our situation. This may be a major change that affects the entire Holy Land..."
Qin Sang whispered.
The three of them stared at the crack above. After a moment, their expressions became a little strange. They looked at each other and thought of a possibility.
Le Chen murmured: "This breath seems to be..."
"It's the breath of the sea of fog. It seems that this crack can lead to outside the holy land!" Qin Sang said, gazing into the depths of the crack.
He vaguely saw a faint white mist spreading and fog seeping in from outside. The breath was completely different from that of the holy land.
“Is this the gateway to leave the Holy Land?”
Liuli was surprised and doubtful. It was the first time for both her and Qin Sang to enter the holy land, so they were not sure.
"It could be a portal, or it could be the beginning of the collapse of the holy land," Qin Sang looked at Chen, "What do the holy monks think?"
After the trial in the holy land lasts for a period of time, the gate will be opened. Some people who are seriously injured, or those who have already obtained the opportunity and are unwilling to participate in the subsequent battles and are ready to quit while they are ahead, will choose to leave the holy land.
However, this situation has never happened before.
Most of the time, the portals leading out of the Holy Land were hidden and gradually found. Sometimes, due to special rules, the portals were rare and became the key to contention among various parties.
It had never happened before that the door was opened so quickly and directly exposed to the sky.
This further proves that the mutation is affecting the entire holy land.
Liao Chen seemed to be thinking about something, then shook his head and said, "In any case, for the cultivators in the Holy Land, this is the best time to escape."
"I will not leave!" Qin Sang said decisively.
Daiyu Immortal Mountain has not yet recovered, and he has not been injured and still maintains his combat strength at his peak. He has not revealed any great supernatural powers in front of the gray figure. His situation is better than most people. There is no reason to give up at this time.
It is impossible for Liuli to give up, as the Secret Realm of Heart Lake is the key to her overcoming the tribulation.
Liao Chen stared at the crack for a long time without saying a word.
Qin Sang noticed that as the cracks appeared, the rays of light were raging in all directions, in the sky and on the ground. If this continued for a while, the entire holy land would probably become a world of bizarre lights and chaos.
As time passed, the crack did not continue to expand, but began to slowly close, as if to close the door.
At this moment, Le Chen closed his eyelids, as if he had made up his mind. He put his hands together and sighed softly, "Junior sister, Master Qin, I'm sorry that I can't continue to travel with you."
Qin Sang's expression changed slightly, "The holy monk is leaving the holy land?"
Le Chen nodded and said, "If the current situation continues, I'm afraid I won't have time to heal my wounds. Forcing myself to stay here will only drag you down. In my opinion, Master Qin is not much inferior to those top masters. He is enough to protect my junior sister..."
As he spoke, Liao Chen took out something, which was an ancient brass lamp. There was no flame or lamp oil on the lampstand, only a dark yellow wick that seemed to be made of hemp straw or something.
"This is the Pure Heart Lamp, a Buddhist treasure of our temple. It was given to me by the abbot Ying Zhenren Ning at his request. I am going to use it to help my junior sister overcome the calamity. I will now give this treasure to Zhenren Qin. When the time comes, Zhenren Qin will use my blood essence as a guide to light the wick. Before the blood essence burns out, it will also be able to stimulate the power of the Heart Lamp."
He stretched out his fingers, moved them close to the lampstand, and forced out drops of bright red blood.
'Snapped! Snapped! '
The blood became lamp oil, filling the lampstand and stained the Pure Heart Lamp with a layer of blood, but it did not appear weird at all. Instead, it had a hint of nobleness, which was quite mysterious.
Qin Sang took the Immaculate Heart Lamp handed over by the holy monk and asked, "The holy monk left the Immaculate Heart Lamp to us. How are we going to explain this to our master when we return?"
"I acted on my own, and it has nothing to do with you two. I will bear the consequences alone. I will accept the punishment from the abbot when I return to the mountain. After Master Qin leaves the holy land, please return this treasure to Ziyun Mountain in time."
Having lost a large amount of essence and blood, Le Chen's breath became even weaker, and it was obvious that his foundation had been damaged.
He turned to look at Liuli, "I hope Junior Sister can successfully enter the realm of refining emptiness and live up to Master Ning's expectations!"
Liuli bowed solemnly and thanked Lu Chen for his protection.
"Go away, poor monk!"
Le Chen nodded, stepped heavily on his feet, flew into the air, and in a blink of an eye he was under the crack.
Before entering the rift, Liao Chen looked back, his gaze sweeping across the vast land and colorful clouds, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.
On the path of spiritual practice, the most precious thing is opportunity.
Opportunities in the world are rare, and when one reaches their level, opportunities that suit them are even rarer. It is truly a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
If everything had gone well, he should have broken through to the late stage of refining emptiness in the holy land and eventually became the best among the same level. However, he encountered an accident. Not only was the chance of breakthrough destroyed by the gray figure, but the opportunity in the heart lake had nothing to do with him either.
At this moment, I wonder how many people are like him, coming in with hope and leaving with reluctance and regret.
Leaving behind a faint sigh, Le Chen flew into the crack and disappeared completely.
Qin Sang retracted his gaze and looked at the Wuran Xin Lamp in his hand. He concentrated on sensing it and felt that there was an invisible barrier between himself and the treasure. The blood of Le Chen built a bridge between him and the treasure. It didn't matter whether the Wuran Xin Lamp was a spiritual treasure or not, and whether he had the Tongbao Jue or not, he could "light" it.
Of course, when Chen’s blood and essence were burned out, he would no longer be able to activate this treasure.
The crack in the sky closed, and soon only a gap remained.
After Liao Chen left, another light flew into the crack from the sky.
This time, it is estimated that there will be quite a few monks withdrawing from the holy land, and the monks who stay behind must be powerful and have something to rely on.
"Let's go," Qin Sang put away the Wu Ran Xin Lamp.
Liuli nodded, and the two of them set off immediately, continuing their journey to the Ancient Green Scorpion Palace.
Without the burden of anger, they were more agile and the rest of the journey was much easier, even though the glow of the sunset was becoming increasingly powerful.
……
Two days later, they finally arrived at the area circled by Chen.
"Is the Jade Scorpion Ancient Palace in front?"
Qin Sang and Liuli landed on a mountain and saw endless pink mist floating in front of them, even the sky was dyed pink.
They did not see the shadow of the ancient temple, only thick fog. Qin Sang used his divine power of clairvoyance to see through the fog, but his vision was blocked by the mountain.
However, Qin Sang concluded that this place was not formed naturally. He saw traces of carving on these mountains, forming a certain formation.
After watching for a while, Qin Sang quietly came to the edge of the red fog, caught a small cloud of fog, and said happily: "It is this poisonous fog!"
With a quick glance around, the scenery inside and outside the poisonous fog is two completely different. Inside, the vegetation is lush and full of spring, while outside, the vegetation is dry and dead.
Under normal circumstances, the poisonous fog should not dissipate outwards. It is probably affected by the sunset glow.
However, the effect of the glow on this place was smaller than they expected. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or not, but when they arrived here, they noticed that there was no glow near the poisonous fog.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a turbulence came from the depths of the poisonous fog, which was the fluctuation of the rosy glow.
Qin Sang saw what happened next and thought to himself, so that's how it is.
Under the impact of the sunset glow, the red mist retreated one after another, but it was able to remain condensed and not dispersed, which was quite a wonderful way of using softness to overcome hardness. When the sunset glow faded, the red mist would gather again and cover all traces.
There was no need to use any special means to deal with the poisonous fog outside. Qin Sang activated his true energy to protect his body and said to Liuli, "Be careful!"
Liuli nodded and chanted a spell. A flash of light appeared behind her mind, followed by a series of crackling sounds. She was wearing a white ice dress and the veil on her face was also made of condensed black ice.
The black ice is so cold that it keeps people away from it.
At this moment, Qin Sang seemed to see the former Liuli and couldn't help but look at her twice more.
Liuli looked down at herself and asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you think is wrong?"
Her expression immediately became lively. Qin Sang knew that she was no longer the Liuli of the past. He shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing. I just feel that the fairy seems to have become a different person against the backdrop of Xuanbing."
But he was thinking in his heart that that was the Liuli he was familiar with.
Liuli did not doubt it, she smiled and took a step forward. The poisonous fog came over her and was frozen into countless tiny red ice particles on the surface of the black ice, swirling around her.
Qin Sang retracted his gaze, looked towards the mountain ahead, and walked towards the mountain side by side with Liuli.
They soon came close and found that the mountain was very steep and there was almost a cliff facing them.
Qin Sang was not in a hurry to climb over the mountain. He stretched out a hand and placed it on the mountain wall, concentrating on sensing something. Liuli stood quietly by, alert to the surroundings.
After a while, Qin Sang withdrew his palm and said softly: "It is indeed a spiritual formation."
"Is this formation related to the poisonous fog?" Liuli asked.
Qin Sang nodded, "This formation is designed for poisonous fog. It is a poison formation. Before this, outsiders did not know the formation, and it was not easy to enter the formation. However, now the poison formation is constantly impacted by the rosy clouds, and there are many flaws. Fairy, follow me."
As he spoke, Qin Sang walked around the mountain and came to the foot of the mountain next to it. He looked up and down, flew up, and took a few steps on the mountain wall. Liuli followed closely behind him.
Qin Sang took a zigzag route on the smooth mountain wall and finally climbed to the top of the mountain successfully without encountering any obstacles.
Seeing the scene on the other side of the mountain, Qin Sang murmured, "What a great ancient Jade Scorpion Palace!"
There were many palaces and pavilions there, all built with a kind of emerald green gem. The emerald green light flowed in the red poisonous fog. These palaces and pavilions stretched very wide and formed the shape of a giant scorpion.
The giant scorpion's head was facing them. Although it was just a palace, Qin Sang and Liuli could feel a strong aura of ferocity, as if the giant scorpion was glaring at them, the uninvited guests.
At the tail of the giant scorpion, the ground at the tail hook position collapsed deeply, turning it into a giant scorpion with a broken tail, otherwise it would be even more ferocious.
"Let's go there!" Qin Sang pointed at the scorpion's tail. That place was obviously collapsed by the impact of the sunset glow. Perhaps they could enter the quiet space through there.
"It seems that there are no monks from the Jiegou tribe here," Liuli looked around.
"Since it is a poisonous scorpion, the most important thing is the stinger at the tail. The palace in that place should be the core hall of the Ancient Jade Scorpion Palace. Now that the hall has sunk, the masters of the Jiegou tribe may have chased in..."
This means that they have to be more careful after entering, so as not to be mistaken by the masters of the Jie Gou tribe as enemies competing for the treasure.
Qin Sang asked Tianmudie to search carefully, but found no other figures. He called Liuli and flew towards the palace.
They soon arrived in front of the giant scorpion. The poisonous fog was constantly changing, but the rosy glow had a huge impact on the area, causing the formation to become disordered. The power of the poisonous fog was greatly reduced. Not only did Qin Sang move through it freely, but Liuli also did not feel any effort.
Directly in front of them was a pair of pincers of a giant scorpion. Liuli and Qin Sang flew to the halls on both sides respectively and found that the restrictions here had been opened. They pushed the door open and found that there was nothing inside as it had been cleared out long ago.
They entered several halls in succession and found the same thing all over. They found some traces inside, none of which were left recently. It was obvious that those people who attacked the Ancient Palace of Green Scorpion should have started from the beginning.
Only by following the steps in this way can the Scorpion Tail Hall be opened. The treasures in these halls are enough for a clan to enjoy for a long time. It can be seen that the people who built the Ancient Scorpion Hall had good intentions, but unfortunately the plan was disrupted by the sunset glow.
Qin Sang and Liuli continued to fly forward, passing through the giant scorpion's body and arriving at the place where the abdomen and the scorpion's tail met.
"Look there!"
Liuli discovered something unusual.
Qin Sang also noticed that there were some jade fragments scattered in front of a hall.
He took a fragment into his hand and examined it, saying, "It is a fragment of a formation device. It seems that the owner of the formation device tried to open this hall, but failed and suffered a backlash."
"These fragments are new, but there is no sign of anyone," Liuli said, "Just as Fellow Daoist Qin said, they all chased in."
Qin Sang looked forward.
This should be the limit of those people's previous attack, which means that the halls behind have not been opened. These halls contain opportunities specially left by the owner of the Jade Scorpion Ancient Hall. If they take the opportunity to break through a few halls, they will definitely gain a lot.
However, he and Liuli both knew what was important and what was not, and were not blinded by the immediate benefits. Moreover, if the treasures that the ancestors of the Jiegou tribe specially prepared for the tribe members were not necessarily suitable for them.
They continued to walk through the halls and finally came to the edge of the deep pit. The deep pit was filled with thick poisonous fog, which was darker in color than outside.
Qin Sang's expression changed slightly when he touched the poisonous fog here. He immediately sent a message to Liuli, asking her not to get close.
Then, Qin Sang grabbed a wisp of mist and silently practiced the secret techniques in the "Poison God Canon" to comprehend the toxicity.
He only had a fragment of the Poison God Canon, which was not more than the part of the God Transformation Stage. After losing the poison bead, Qin Sang gave up the way of poison and did not try to deduce the subsequent chapters. Therefore, most of the secret techniques he learned from the Poison God Canon had limitations and were difficult to deal with overly powerful poisons, but some of the secret techniques of the poison path could continue to play a role.
Just as Qin Sang was concentrating on comprehending the toxicity, he suddenly sensed unusual fluctuations coming from below. They did not seem like the poisonous fog or the fluctuations from the prohibitions in the hall, but rather seemed to be caused by the collision of magical powers and Taoism.
The two looked at each other and immediately realized that there were masters fighting below!
